1
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: There are so many things that I give a shit

2
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: about right now that do not matter, and that's when

3
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: it's the most fun.

4
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,639
Speaker 2: I don't watch the news a ton, and I'm gonna

5
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 2: tell you why.

6
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: Watching the news is such bullshit, because depending upon what

7
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: channel you're on, it's so dramatic and so skewed towards

8
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: that network's political, totally biased opinion, that it's like all bullshit.

9
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: It's like you might as well watch Malcolm in the Middle.

10
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: Like things, the message gets lost. So the message gets

11
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: lost when Trump says he loves Sidney Sweeney if she's

12
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: a Republican, only like you could like someone who's a

13
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: Democrat or a public no matter what your political views are.

14
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: Like I go back to this all the time that like,

15
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: if you wore a mask, it doesn't mean that you

16
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: were a Democrat.

17
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 2: It means that you might have wanted to wear a mask.

18
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: If you like Megan Markle, it doesn't mean that you

19
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: are a Democrat. If you appreciated the Sydney Sweeney ad,

20
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that you're a Republican.

21
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,639
Speaker 2: Like how stupid are people?

22
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 1: It's as stupid as when I talk about everyone's convinced

23
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: that you know fruit is bad, but like steak and

24
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: keto is good, Like how dumb is everyone? So the

25
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: Sydney Sweeney ad it was a little bit like the

26
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: Calvin Klein ad, which years ago was controversial and disruptive

27
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: and polarizing, which is what a good ad should be,

28
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: Like a good ad should make you think or just

29
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: entertain you, or like a Geico lizard, you know, which

30
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: I'm actually going to work with them because something funny

31
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: happened and I had a lizard in my bathroom, and

32
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: actually I'm going to tell you about that too, because

33
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a lizard or Geico, a salamander, iguana.

34
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: There's so many different It's like greens.

35
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: Is it a lettuce? Is it a rugla? Is it romaine?

36
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: Is it butter lettuce?

37
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: I don't fucking know, but anyway, they're all green in

38
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: both scenarios. So Sidney Sweeney's in an American Eagle ad.

39
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: It's a pun on Jens, meaning it's about genes, like

40
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: genetic and she's like jeans are passed down from parents

41
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,839
Speaker 1: to offspring, which every time she says that, I think

42
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: about like denim genes being passed down, and I always

43
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: like no, they're not. But like, you know, you're wearing

44
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: your mother's jeans, not your mother's jeans. I don't know

45
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: why that's the first thing I think of, But all

46
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 1: of a sudden, TikTok goes crazy and it's about eugenics.

47
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: Never no one has ever used eugenics in a full

48
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: sentence or a conversation until Sidney Sweeney and American Eagle. So,

49
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: if nothing else, she has educated America and given them

50
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: a new sat word. But she's in this ad and

51
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: it's provocative, and she's like natural and sensual, and she's

52
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: wearing jeans. She's talking about jeans, she's selling jeans. I

53
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: don't know what the hell she's talking about. I didn't

54
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 1: know that Scooby Doo was a bunch of stoners in

55
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: a van, and I didn't know that they were like

56
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: over my head jokes and bugs bunny.

57
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 2: I thought it was an animated rabbit.

58
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: And I thought Scooby Doo was like a dopey dog

59
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: and some shaggy haired people in a band.

60
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 2: I didn't know there was like undertones.

61
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: And so I don't know she was selling jeans for

62
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: American Eagle. But here's where it gets interesting. This is

63
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: what has happened. As I mentioned forty six times with

64
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: Haley Bieber and Selena.

65
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 2: Gomez and Lizzo and everyone.

66
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: The more they get talked about, the more famous they get,

67
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: the more they get quote unquote canceled, the more they

68
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: get renewed because people were talking about something.

69
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 2: They're all so enraged and so mad because there's.

70
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: Nothing else to worry about because there aren't wars and

71
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: crimes and starving children. So they're so enraged and worried

72
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: because God, you know about this ad that has like

73
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: you have to be fucking no Morse code and have

74
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: gone to like Mit and have like the emotional intellect

75
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: of Einstein and like Freud, that like they're so concerned

76
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: about this, like outrage about this eugenics and like I

77
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: don't even know what I was talking about, but that

78
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: like they're making people watch the ad. So like, if

79
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: you were really so outraged, then you would do something

80
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: about it in some sort of way lobby or talk

81
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: to the FCC.

82
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: Or something, but you.

83
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: Certainly wouldn't be like getting views on it and making

84
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: more people go watch it. Blentci Aga is doing just

85
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: fine since everyone was so outraged on the internet, so

86
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 1: people are going crazy and everyone's talking about it, and

87
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 1: they're making so much money and their stock is through

88
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: the fucking roof, so like it went through the roof.

89
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: So I don't know how you actually achieve a boycott

90
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: or taking a brand down these days, but this because

91
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: it was like such a do about nothing that people

92
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 1: just bought more geens because they were They became so

93
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: enraged that people were enraged, so like you can't call

94
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: wolf unless there's really a wolf. People who just didn't

95
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: understand the outrage course corrected and bought all these jeans,

96
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: soared the stocks. They were like, no, now we're gonna

97
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: fucking punish you, and dunkin Donuts jumped on, so now

98
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: dunkin Donuts gets to win. And now people are saying

99
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: it's because people are allowed to be hot, because the

100
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: dunkin Donuts guy is hot and he's making fun of

101
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,559
Speaker 1: it because Sidney Sweeney's hot. And I don't even think

102
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: it's about hot or you're not allowed to be hot.

103
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: I think it's just about selling jeans, doing something disruptive

104
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: to sell something like it's it's like it's as old

105
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 1: as time. It has to land, and it landed, and

106
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: then I saw this guy that I actually enjoy.

107
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 2: On social media.

108
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: He's calling it like the downfall of Sidney Sweeney, and

109
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's an example of people inside TikTok that

110
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 1: like really think that everything that's going on inside social

111
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: media is going on outside social media, and there is

112
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: a big, big, whole wide world outside social media, and

113
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 1: they don't realize.

114
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 2: Like it happened to me once.

115
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: I thought shit was hitting sideways and I didn't realize

116
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: no one really cared. I was trying to sell a

117
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: book and I was like, wait, but do they know?

118
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: And my person that works with me, my agent, was like, no,

119
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: they don't know. Why they don't care about that, And

120
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, because I was up my own

121
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: ass thinking that everything that's going on inside social media

122
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: everybody outside thinks is real. So this guy in his

123
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: own world was writing down it's a downfall, it's a

124
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: downfall of Sidney Sweeney. Like what are you talking about.

125
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: Sidney Sweeney's been on like the hottest shows. She was

126
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: said to be maybe flirting with Tom Brady, but I'd

127
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: like to even be mentioned in the same sentence as

128
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. Okay that she was at the Jeff Bezos,

129
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: Laurence Sancho's wedding. Okay, everyone was mocking that wedding, but

130
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: everyone was watching, and it just like only drives attention

131
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: to the people that you want to torture, and then

132
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: it could even backfire. So disruption is king people who

133
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: hate watched Howard Stern watched more than the people who

134
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: loved him.

135
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:13,239
Speaker 2: How insane is that people who hate watch watch more

136
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 2: than the people who love. So just know that, just

137
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 2: park that for whatever that is.

138
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean it's it's a backdown on every single cause,

139
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: But like you have to just be educated and know

140
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: that if you're trolling something and it's not landing, you're

141
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: making the money and they're lapping all their way to

142
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: the bank. And it's fascinating because that's what marketing is.

143
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: So haters are lucrative. Dare I say I like Sidney

144
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: Sweeney more since that ad I think.

145
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 2: About her more?

146
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: And also anyone saying the downfall of Sidney Sweeney doesn't

147
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: know how America works.

148
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 2: Chase the Money.

149
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: I use the same examples over and over to keep

150
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: explaining constants that are different.

151
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 2: Lauren Sanchez Vogue. Vogue isn't stupid, Chase the Money.

152
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: Kim Kardashian met Gala and first Vogue cover Chase the Money.

153
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: She has an audience. Sydney Sweeney moved a market. The

154
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: President and Vice President of the United States of America,

155
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: whether you like them or not, are talking about Sydney

156
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: Sweeney and she moved a stock.

157
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 2: I haven't.

158
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: Well, actually it's not true. I've moved a stock of cottage.

159
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: She is not even a joke. I've moved the stock

160
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: of cottage.

161
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 2: She's of.

162
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: Tomatoes, of turkey, and so she's moved a stock. Period

163
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: story and film at eleven Cry in your corn Flakes.

164
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: So I want you to think about funk shwey in

165
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: your house, when you're buying a house, when you're renting

166
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 1: a house, and how you can change your own environment

167
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: with regards to fun shwe because I think it's really important.

168
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: So I'm in a new house and I'm noticing that

169
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: I am living, cooking, breathing, sleeping, bathing, operating very differently

170
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: in my new house because of the way that the

171
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: funk shwe is here. So I prance and leap into

172
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: my podcast room in a way that's different in my

173
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: old house, where it's not because it was in the

174
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: basement because I don't mind the basement. I have no

175
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: problem with the basement. However, the house was set up.

176
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: My old house was like very choppy and all these

177
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: different separated rooms that it felt like you were like

178
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: going far and away somewhere to go do the podcast,

179
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: and it felt like I just a drag or like

180
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: the living room in my old house was in a

181
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 1: separate room. It wasn't like open to everything, but you

182
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 1: could understand where it was. And it made me not

183
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: want to ever go in that living room. So I

184
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: only was ever watching TV in my bedroom. And it

185
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 1: was like user habits were just different, and the littlest

186
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: thing you have to think about, like what you're craving.

187
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: For example, I'm in a house right now, and I

188
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: walk out this sliding door and there's a little dining table.

189
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 1: It's in Florida, and there are these chairs around the

190
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: dining table. But it's not conducive to me like sitting

191
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: and lounging right there because it's dining chairs. And even

192
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: though the che's lounge is not far from there, it's

193
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: still far away. And I want to feel like I

194
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: just open that door and just sit right out that door.

195
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 1: Drink a coffee and lounge, and there's a lot to

196
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: the way things are set up, and don't just accept

197
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: things the way that they are.

198
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 2: You could change things in an instant.

199
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: I always talk about changing linens, changing your towels, like

200
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: it could be the smallest thing. It could be decluttering.

201
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: But functui is real. So think about how you feel

202
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: every day and like what your inclination is and what

203
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: you're not getting, Like you're like, wait, I don't love

204
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: going in that room, or for some reason, I never

205
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: do this. Like I had an area of my house

206
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: in Connecticut that I never went in. I never used

207
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: it once, not one time. It was the fantasy of

208
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: this party that I was going to have in there

209
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: and entertain in there, and it never once even happened.

210
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: At an outdoor kitchen, in my mind, I was going

211
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: to use an outdoor dishwasher, so I spent all this

212
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: extra money, all these bells and whistles. Not once did

213
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: I use the dishwasher in the outdoor kitchen. I felt

214
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: like the dishes were going to be in some vortex

215
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: out there, and it was just stupid.

216
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 2: It was like a redundant dishwasher.

217
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: But in my mind, I was living out there, cooking

218
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: out there, having all these meals out there, all these

219
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: It's like, make your house.

220
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 2: How you actually live.

221
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: If you're not dining that much, then don't have a

222
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: dining table, make it really interesting on a kitchen island,

223
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: or rent a dining table once a year, like whatever

224
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: you're doing, like make your house for how you actually live.

225
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 1: It's all I can say. So someone that works in

226
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: me is talking about wedding gifts. She's a certain age.

227
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: When she got married, she was much younger, and so

228
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: there was a certain amount that they gave. Now, but

229
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: now she's giving out gifts, and she has to give

230
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: out such more expensive gifts because she's at a different

231
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: level or and they're older and the expectation is different.

232
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: Which led me to the fact that giving wedding gifts

233
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: is like that bottle of wine that someone brings to

234
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: your house that you're eventually gonna end up bringing back

235
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: to their house. Like people have a wedding gift list,

236
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: not the registry, but people keep a list of what

237
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: people gave them, Yes, the registry, but also the money.

238
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: So you give the money and then now it's your

239
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: wedding and they give the money back. Or you give

240
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: them money for a kid, but now you're an only child,

241
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: you have one child, you've an only child. She has

242
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:08,719
Speaker 1: a friend who has about Mitzvah. You give whatever the

243
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: number is, one hundred and eighteen, oh is a Jewish number,

244
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: hundred and eight dollars, whatever you give?

245
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 2: Okay, you give about Mitzvah.

246
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 1: Present you have five children nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen.

247
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: Just having about Mitzvah, that person that you gave that

248
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: to is now going to think that they have to

249
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: give you back the same gift for all five of

250
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: your kids that are going to have about Mitzvah or

251
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: sweet sixteen. So like, there have to be some rules

252
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: and places for these people that travel to weddings, stay

253
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: at weddings, destination weddings, spend money to get there, Like

254
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: there has to be some rule that like everybody sticks

255
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: to or each it should be as important as registering

256
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: you register at Bloomingdale's. You like, come up with something

257
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: with all the friends about what's appropriate for gifts, because

258
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: it could be it's a free for all and then

259
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: it becomes their turn and then their expectations because you're

260
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: basically giving back the money they just gave you.

261
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 2: Ba humbug.

262
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 1: I think that Christmas cards, physical paper, sent envelope, tree

263
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: wasting Christmas cards should be canceled.

264
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 2: I don't want them. I don't care. I know what

265
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 2: year it is, I don't know.

266
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: But a my collecting your families because it's just like

267
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: it's literally as bad as I feel about. When a

268
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: brand sends me nineteen shades a foundation, I get the

269
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: one I like if that and I have to give

270
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: away the eighteen. I have to spend money to ship

271
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: it to Poshmark, which goes to charity.

272
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 2: I have to give it away.

273
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: I have to find a place, find a bathroom, hoard it,

274
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: fucking throw it in the street.

275
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 2: It's annoying.

276
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,680

302
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: be laminated and bacharack crystal. Your picture's on one side

303
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: and the other side is an ornament I can use

304
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: for the rest of my life because it is savage,

305
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: it is relentless, and you better fucking step up your game,

306
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: because sending part of a tree with your picture on

307
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: it ain't gonna cut it. It's going right in the

308
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: garbage to be recycled into another version of a tree.

309
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: I catch Chloe Kardashian on her podcast talking about Tristan

310

311
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: I like Chloe Kardashian from what I see. I met

Speaker 1: like also like taking it seriously.

317
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 2: She seems like she's prepared. She sits down.

318
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 1: You know me, I come down here looking like I

319
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,000

00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: like preparing in that way. I like, just like riffing.

324
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: It's just what I like. This is who I am. Everywhere.

325
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 1: I'm not great at like being corralled, shackled controlled. It's

326
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: just not my personality and it's not no one's ever

327
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: gonna accuse me of being lazy.

328
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 2: It's not that it's just not my style.

329
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: I don't like it, but I have a respect for

330
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 1: like the polished podcast, and I like the way Chloe

331
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 1: sits down. She looks good, the lighting's good, she's well dressed,

332
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 1: her hair is perfect. She's talking about an important topic.

333
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: She's going deep. She's not talking about superficial things. The

334
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: guests aren't just like vapid celebrities she just picked off

335
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: her celebrity Christmas list tree, Like they're interesting conversation. I

336
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 1: don't know.

337
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 2: I don't even listen to.

338
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: Podcasts, so it's not like I'm actually listening, but I

339
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 1: watch her clips and like, I like it, like thumbs up,

340
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: I'm here for it, Like keep going.

341
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 2: I like it. That's all I have to say.

342
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: And I like whatever her philosophy is and what she's

343
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: discussing about her ex and his kid. And you can

344
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: meet people through different ways. You're not gonna just She's saying,

345
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: you're not gonna just drop someone who is in your

346
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 1: life because he's on in your life.

347
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 2: And I fully get that too.

348
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 1: I have exes that's still have a relationship with my child,

349
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: Like I want that they had a real relationship. You

350
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,479
Speaker 1: don't just like throw the baby out the bathwater. So

351
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: I like it. I like her, That's just my gut instinct.

352
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: There's a new Pope. The headline is that he pulled

353
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: a bunch of people together, like this was a social

354
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: media event with thousands of people coming to see the

355
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 1: new Pope. Now, regardless of what your religious beliefs are,

356
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: anyone who can bring people together to believe in something,

357
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: to unite, to have faith, to connect, to continue tradition,

358
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: I love that. I love that in really any religion.

359
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: So it's a surprising thing coming for me. Not because

360
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: I have a Jewish last name, because I celebrate Christmas

361
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: and went to Catholic school, so that's not the relevant point.

362
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: But I'm not a religious person, but like I do

363
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: understand where religion serves a purpose in bringing people together

364
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: in faith, in morals, in quote unquote being a good Christian,

365
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 1: in what it's supposed to represent, and it falls short

366
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,239
Speaker 1: all the time, But I like the meaning behind it,

367
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 1: and I like the unification and something sparking uniting a

368
00:19:58,720 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: group of people.

369
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 2: I'm here, I'm team Pope, is what I'm saying, And

370
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 2: I like that.

371
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: It's like modern and that there were young people talking

372
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,959
Speaker 1: about they brought him his favorite pizza and posting on

373
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: social media and they were excited to see people their age.

374
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,959
Speaker 2: I like it. I liked it. It moved me. I

375
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 2: wrote it down.

376
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: The greatest couple in decades is Liam Neeson and Pam Anderson.

377
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: And I don't know what's going on with them, but

378
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 1: there's a calm, gentle, content, settled partnership vibe that I

379
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: really like, and I really I'm going to mandate that

380
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: they stay together and that this perpetuates, and that this

381
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: they don't leave us hanging like it has to work,

382
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 1: like I would cancel Christmas if George Clooney and a

383
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 1: Moll did not last, like I would not. I would

384
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: not survive it. I wouldn't make it. I would be

385
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: on bedrest like I wouldn't. I wouldn't survive. And I'm

386
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: not that invested yet in Pam and Liam, and I

387
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: won't be. It's not the same, but they to last

388
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: just for the people. They just need to last.

389
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 2: We need it. We need it.

390
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 1: And speaking of which, with dating, I've gotten to a

391
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 1: point now where dating to me is like I will

392
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: dip my toe in for one second and run away

393
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 1: like a little top. You know how a baby like

394
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: runs up to the ocean and gets scared by it,

395
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: like puts their toe and then runs the other way

396
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: as the water like comes closer, but then the water

397
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: goes out, the baby runs in and then runs away.

398
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: That's me with dating, Like I used to be an

399
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: expert at this. I used to be an expert at dating.

400
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: Now it's like I've never done it before. I don't

401
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: want to. Someone starts texting me and they creep me out,

402
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: They cringe me out, and I want to get the

403
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: fuck out of there immediately.

404
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 2: It is wild.

405
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: It is like I've had food poisoning, and even though

406
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: I intellectually know that the odds of getting food poisoning

407
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: from that again will not happen, but I don't want

408
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 1: to go back there.

409
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 2: I don't want to go to the restaurant.

410
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 1: I want to talk about it, think about it, smell it,

411
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: hear of it, and I don't want to do it.

412
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: So it's getting very interesting. I can't imagine how warm

413
00:21:56,119 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: that pool would, how warm and perfect conditions Osha would

414
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: have

415
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 2: To be for me to want to get in
